- Psalm 117:1-2 meaning. Sincerest praise is the appropriate response to the Lord's activity in creation from all of God's people in all corners of the earth. By so acknowledging the Lord's special love for every person, each of whom He has created for an everlasting purpose, we honor God's historic and salvific deeds among us. We also find freedom in the reality of who God is. His love for every person unshackles us to be all God intended. This psalm is part of "The Hallel" (praise) which consists of Psalm 113-118.
- Psalm 118:1 meaning. Psalm 118 begins with a common exhortation to "Give thanks to the LORD." The reason he provides for us to give thanks is: "for He is good."

The psalmist's gratitude for God's lovingkindness is established up front and it permeates the entirety of Psalm 118.
